newbie: The top two strings are usually referred to as the bottom strings. Very confusing. I guess it’s from the guitar with bottom referring to the pitch of the notes.

“For example, the C power chord (C5) is made up of C and, seven frets higher, G. Which is just the bottom two strings open”

I guess you meant the top two strings open. Otherwise I’m TOTALLY lost.

Woodshed: Indeed it was worth the wait for the Risa. However, it is my first foray into an electric guitar-like instrument so I’ll let you know as it develops…Of course I went crazy on buying an amp as well!

See this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBv1_h92gkU for Eddie Vedder picking out a few notes of ‘Iron Man’ before playing ‘Soon Forget’ at Reading 2007; a nice link between a couple of recent posts here. Keep ‘em coming Woodshed!

Thanks! This is great stuff…I was wondering about what they were about when I found them in songs. Good to add to my repertoire and use on that new Risa electric that finally arrived from Germany!
